<p>The learning window (main screen) is the integral part of MemoryLifter. 
 It is comprised of three parts:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p>The question and the answer flashcards</li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p>Scoring/progress information</li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p>Stack (of the last few words not known)</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Below are more information on the three parts and instruction on how 
 to answer the question and how to end a learning session.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=SubTopic1><b style="font-weight: bold;">Question and answer flashcards</b></p>

<p>The question and the answer flashcards are represented by two boxes 
 in the Learning Window. The card on the left shows the question. Depending 
 on their availability (can vary for each card) there might be a sample 
 sentence (smaller, below the word), an image or audio (indicated with 
 a Play <img src="../images/Play.gif"
			x-maintain-ratio=TRUE
			style="border: none;
					float: none;
					width: 22px;
					height: 22px;
					border-style: none;
					border-style: none;"
			width=22
			height=22
			border=0> button).</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The card on the right is for the answer. The answer flashcard has two 
 states: the first one is the input mode, the second one shows the answer 
 in its full form, if possible, again with sentences, audio, and image.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=SubTopic1><b style="font-weight: bold;">Scoring/Progress information</b></p>

<p>The scoring/progress part gives you some information on the current 
 learning status: </p>

<ul>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Box number</b> is the 
 number of the box the current card is in, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 10 
 (highest).</li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Box size</b> shows 
 you how many cards are actually in the box, and the maximum cards it can 
 contain. The higher the box number, the higher the maximum size.</li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Right / wrong answers</b> 
 counts the number of right / wrong answers. Note that when a word has 
 multiple meanings, each right / wrong answer will yield you a point.</li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p>The <b>Score</b> increases with a right word, depending 
 on speed, length of word, as well as the number of right words in a row.</li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p
		class=kadov-p>The <b>Timer</b> is only displayed when it has been 
 selected in the <a HREF="memo1d9v.htm"><b>learning options</b></a>. It 
 starts counting with a new question. The longer the question, the higher 
 the time it starts from</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=SubTopic1><b style="font-weight: bold;">The stack</b></p>

<p>The stack shows you the last few cards you didn't know or only partially 
 knew.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=SubTopic1><b style="font-weight: bold;">Answering a question</b></p>

<p>The answer to the question can be in the form of a standard input or 
 multiple choice depending on the learning mode. Below are the instructions 
 on answering the two types.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=SubTopic2><i style="font-style: italic;">Standard input</i></p>

<p>There are two possibilities for the standard input: it can behave like 
 a standard edit control as known from Windows, or correct your input on 
 the fly.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Correct on the fly</b></p>

<ol style="list-style: decimal;"
	type=1>
	
	<li style="margin-left: -20px;"
		class=kadov-p><p>Make sure that the answer flashcard is in input 
 mode (flashcard is empty apart from a cursor).</p></li>
	
	<li style="margin-left: -20px;"
		class=kadov-p><p>Enter the answer. If the character you enter is 
 incorrect, it will become red. The cursor only advances when you enter 
 the correct character.</p></li>
	
	<li style="margin-left: -20px;"
		class=kadov-p><p>As soon as the answer is complete, the answer 
 flash card shows the complete answer. If there's more than one meaning 
 to a word, the cursor will jump to the next line after each known word 
 before showing the complete answer.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Standard input</b></p>

<ol style="list-style: decimal;"
	type=1>
	
	<li style="margin-left: -20px;"
		class=kadov-p><p>Make sure that the answer flashcard is in input 
 mode (flashcard is empty apart from a cursor).</p></li>
	
	<li style="margin-left: -20px;"
		class=kadov-p><p>Enter the answer like in a standard edit control. 
 Use <b>Ctrl-ENTER</b> to advance. If there are meaning to a word, the 
 cursor jumps to a new line, prompting you for another meaning. Press Enter 
 to skip this.</p></li>
	
	<li style="margin-left: -20px;"
		class=kadov-p><p>By pressing <b>Ctrl-ENTER</b> with no meaning 
 left, or just <b>ENTER</b>, the answer flash card will show the complete 
 answer.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Hints</b> </p>
